Untertan
'Untertan' Summary
Untertan, written by Heinrich Mann in 1914, is a satirical novel which tells the life story of the fictional careerist and opportunist Diederich Hessling. The story begins with Hessling's childhood and follows him as he navigates the social and political landscape of Wilhelmine Germany, rising through the ranks of society to secure a position of power. The novel is a sharp critique of the German Empire under Wilhelm II, and a study of the authoritarian personality. Mann draws a vivid picture of the social and political conditions that led to the outbreak of World War I, and his novel remains a relevant and insightful work of literature today.Book Details
